Garden & Landscape - October 2006

I bought some non-stop begonias and they have been beautiful all summer. Are these flowers that come back in the spring? Should I bring them into the house? They're definitely failing now. I only bought them because I thought they were beautiful but I don't know what to expect from them now. Thanks (P.S. I don't know much about gardening.)

Is this a species of palm that grows this tall or is it because they are nutrient-fed?

The birdfeed falls onto the ground and then sprouts 'thick weeds' underneath the feeder. I hate that! How do I prevent this from happening? Is there a particular feed that I should use that won't do this? Or should I have the feeder in a different location?

I live in NJ. Put in fall seed a few weeks ago, and it is showing good results. Is it too late (cold) to put down more fall seed, or should i put down a winterizer?

Months ago I'd asked how to go about starting an avacado seed, to grow a tree. I received varrious answers but the one that was the best was plant them in the dirt or something to that effect. Well, I threw 8 or 9 seeds in a big planter with cantaloupe seed- more for fertilizer than anything- and now I have 2 avacado trees about 4 inches tall. Now I need to know when and how do I go about transplanting them? I've heard to do it at night- oh he&@, I've heard a lot of ways, so some real good advice from some real good people here would be nice. And for that guy who said put'em in the dirt, if you're reading this, your way is/was the only one that worked. I thank you

This is stupid but I haven't mowed a lawn before...what should I do with the cut grass? We have one of those grass collectors on the back of the mower, and we don't have a compost bin. Should I just not use the collector thing and leave the cuttings on the lawn?

My husband and I and our 3 young children (3,6,&8)bought our second home last year.It sits on 3 acres in west. PA.-about a 1/2 acre is wooded.I have always been a gardening enthusiast,although I still have quite a lot to learn-especially in the area of organic gardening.I am,however,constantly reading up to learn as much as possible.My hope is to start a small scale organic veg. buisness over the next 2 years.There are quite a few farmers markets in the area where I could at least get my start.I'm also interested in selling to restaraunts in the area.Finally,most of the responsibilities of the buisness would fall on me as my husband works full time outside the home.I am currently a stay at home mom and believe that this would be a great way for me to do what I love and believe in while I continue to stay home with my children.Any advice,experiences or resources anyone can share would be very much appreciated.

Everyone says the peace lily is easy to grow, but my plant gets brown on the tip of the leaf. Am I watering too much, too little, not enough sun? It is getting new leaves that are green and healthy, but evenutally this happens to them.
